TAM

Throughout the past two years, they have studied and developed

with a view to finding a youth policy acceptable to the whole

in order to find a direction to solve a thorny problem.

organisations including the Hong Kong Council for Social

comprehensive youth policy. Nevertheless, it is only until

the late 1980s, after the various activities organised to

celebrate the International Year of the Youth, that the Community once again urged the Government to draw up a youth policy, and hence the decision to form the committee.

This is the background of the committee.

of the areas is that it will affect the existing system and

will affect the relevant departments and agencies which are providing youth services. Secondly, some people in the

community have reservations about having a comprehensive

youth policy. They fear that this is equivalent to social
